The Xanboni Store and a giveaway!

"Barbara" who commented today, wins any item under $22 at the Xanboni Store
"Helicopter Mom" who commented on the Nov. 15 post, wins the Ice Halo.

Please send me your shipping information to coachxan@xanboni.com. Everybody else who entered, head on over to Ice Halo* or the Xanboni store for those last-minute gifts! Thanks to my friend Bree who drew the winning tickets, as well as John and Nga Jee who witnessed!

Check out the "Hail Peggy" long-sleeve t-shirt! More products (and a nicer web design) coming in the new year.

EDIT!

One more chance to get in on my "100,000 giveway." (Also announced here.) Leave a comment below and you'll be entered to win any product valued at under $22 at the store, or a child's medium Ice Halo™ in camouflage fleece. Leave a comment by noon Wednesday, 12/14. If you already left a comment at either of the prior posts, no need to comment here, you're already in the hopper!

*Mention Xanboni for 5% discount. Disclosure: I do not receive any remuneration from Ice Halo, although they did send me a free pink fur Ice Halo, which is very very cool.

About Me

Who is Xan?

I'm an adult figure skater who got the "bug" in my forties and went through several years of coaches' education so I could follow this passion. I earned a Senior Rating in Group Instruction through the Professional Skaters Association (currently in abeyance due to PSA rules) and have passed US Figure Skating and Ice Skating Institute tests on the Adult track in Freestyle, Ice Dance, and Moves in the Field, plus School Figures on the standard track. My daughter is a high-test skater who has competed nationally and skated professionally with an ice show, so I've seen the sport from many perspectives.

This figure skating blog is to help parents of figure skaters learn what goes on, especially in group skating classes, and I hope to answer questions about how to help your child have the best experience learning to skate that they can.

I'd love to take credit for "Xanboni" but it was actually invented by a 4-year old in class, who asked me, upon learning my name, if that meant that I "owned the xanboni truck that fixes the ice." :)
